I’ve always thought the General Dynamics F-111 was a beautiful aircraft. Now, PRE-Flight owners can enjoy this aircraft with a free download.
The F-111 was designed in an era where “cost was not an issue” - resulting in an aircraft featuring pioneering and expensive technologies like variable-geometry wings, afterburning turbofan engines and terrain-following radar. So advanced was the F-111 that it inspired the fictional aircraft in the “Thunderbirds” series as well as real Soviet swing-wing designs.
The design philosophy of the 1960’s was overwhelming speed and power (as opposed to the current philosophy of stealth and cost effectiveness), hence the F-111’s Mach 2.5 plus speed and nuclear capability was coupled with long range to meet the requirements of both USAF and Navy.
This super scale PRE-Flight model of the F-111 has variable-geometry swing-wings, operating landing gear, and twin afterburning jets.
This model is for PRE-Flight version 2.10 and higher.
